Few bands can make as much welcomed riotous noise as Woking’s Employed To Serve, delivered shot by shot across EP after EP. However, the outfit took it to a whole new level when they finally dropped their debut full-length, ‘Greyer Than You Remember’, constructing and executing some of the closest post-apocalyptic sounds you’re likely to hear. To get a bit more insight into the record and its creation, the troupe gave us a track-by-track overview of the release:

Be it in a lab or an art studio, venturing beyond the boundaries of human knowledge with experimentation is the vehicle that advances our society. Exploring the unknown requires a gifted, unique mindset; it’s a tiresome and gruelling endeavour but, without these noble people, the world would be at a standstill. The world of music is no different and every so often, we’re gifted with innovative, inventive and ingenious outfits such as Between The Buried And Me and The Chariot. Following the release of their debut album, Employed To Serve are, without a shadow of a doubt, a member of this small elite.

Metallic hardcore up and comers Employed To Serve have unveiled the video for their new track ‘Watching Films To Forget I Exist’. The song is lifted from their upcoming new album ‘Greyer Than You Remember’ (out May 25th via Holy Roar), and you can check it out below:

Having just wrapped up a headline stint of the UK this month, post-hardcore favourites Funeral For A Friend have confirmed dates for another headline UK tour this March. You can check out all of the dates where you can catch the band on the tour below:

Nowadays, with so many bands competing to make it to the big time (or at least to the point where they can make a living off of their craft), there is a constant wave of copycats, playing the same thing heard time and time again. It’s pleasing then that Woking’s Employed To Serve are one of the few gems in the ocean of competitors who step outside of the box, proving their worth with their most recent EP, ‘Change Nothing, Regret Everything’.

We spoke with guitarist and main songwriter, Sammy Urwin, about how they begin going about writing such complex and outlandish music, what drives them to keep going, plans for an eventual debut full-length album, his opinion on Kanye West and more.

Like a life form, music has evolved over the years. However, this has been the cause of much dismay and controversy, because the majority of people are idiots and don’t like change. Whenever music progresses or breaks from the norm, it’s generally met with a colossal wave of backlash. This isn’t a new thing though, back in May 1913, Igor Stravinsky debuted his ballet The Rite of Spring in Paris. The performance was so revolutionary and far from that of conventional ballets that it was booed immediately, which swiftly progressed into an all-out brawl between audience members and eventually lead to a riot.

Post hardcore up and comers Employed To Serve have inked a deal with Holy Roar Records, who will release their upcoming debut ‘Change Nothing Regret Everything’ on March 31st. Check out the artwork and track list below.
